Extended Scene View

1. A method of processing video streams at a content consumption device, the method comprising: receiving two or more separate video streams of a plurality of video streams broadcast over cable, satellite, over-the-air, or the Internet and received in a receiver of said content consumption device, wherein each of the plurality of video streams corresponds to a respective stream portion of a scene and the video streams are combinable into a combined stream corresponding to the scene; receiving a signal at an input of said content consumption device, the signal indicating an output portion of the scene to be output by said content consumption device, wherein the output portion has less pixels in at least one dimension than the scene; combining the two or more separate video streams in a processor of said content consumption device to produce an output video stream corresponding to the output portion; and outputting the output video stream to an output interface of said content consumption device for viewing the output video stream on a display at said content consumption device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , the method comprising determining two or more video streams corresponding to a respective overlapping portion of the scene, wherein each overlapping portion overlaps the output portion and receiving two or more video streams comprises selectively receiving the two or more determined video streams.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the two or more video streams are broadcast.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein selectively receiving the two or more determined video streams comprises receiving a respective broadcast of each of the two or more determined video streams.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of video streams is broadcast on a first broadcast channel and at least one other of the plurality of video streams is broadcast on a second broadcast channel different from the first broadcast channel.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the signal is received from a user input device.

7. The method according to claim 1 , the method comprising receiving data identifying the plurality of video streams as related to the scene and, for each video stream, identifying one or more adjacent video streams adjacent in the scene to the video stream.

8. A content consumption device comprising: a receiver for receiving two or more separate video streams of a plurality of video streams broadcast over cable, satellite, over-the-air, or the Internet, wherein each of the plurality of video streams corresponds to a respective stream portion of a scene and the video streams are combinable into a combined stream corresponding to the scene; an input for a signal indicating an output portion of a scene to be output by said content consumption device, wherein the output portion has less pixels in at least one dimension than the scene; an output interface; and a processor configured to: receive two or more separate video streams of the plurality of video streams from the receiver; receive the signal; combine the two or more separate video streams to produce an output video stream corresponding to the output portion; and cause output of the output video stream by the output interface for viewing the output video stream on a display at said content consumption device.

9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to determine two or more video streams each corresponding to a respective overlapping portion of the scene, wherein each overlapping portion overlaps the output portion and receiving two or more video streams comprises causing the receiver to selectively receive the two or more determined video streams.

10. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the receiver is a broadcast receiver.

11. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the receiver comprises two or more tuners and the processor is configured to determine if a first one of the two or more video streams is transmitted on a first channel and a second one of the two or more video streams is transmitted on a second channel and to cause the receiver to tune one of the tuners to the first channel to receive first one of the two or more video streams and to tune another one of the tuners to the second channel to receive the second one of the two or more video streams.

12. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the input is configured to receive an input from a user of the content consumption device.

13. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to receive from the receiver data identifying a video streams as one of video streams and one or more adjacent video streams adjacent in the scene to the video stream.

14. A non-transitory computer readable media encoding coded instructions that, when executed on a processor of a content consumption device cause the processor to: receive two or more separate video streams of a plurality of video streams broadcast over cable, satellite, over-the-air, or the Internet, wherein each of the plurality of video streams corresponds to a respective stream portion of a scene and the video streams are combinable into a combined stream corresponding to the scene; receive a signal indicating an output portion of the scene to be output by said content consumption device, wherein the output portion has less pixels in at least one dimension than the scene; combine the two or more video streams to produce an output video stream corresponding to the output portion; and output the output video stream device for viewing the output video stream on a display at said content consumption device.
